SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose police officers arrested the kidnapper of a 9-year-old girl by using delivery records from a Little Caesars pizza store.
According to multiple press reports, the alleged kidnapper dropped the girl off at a convenience store on June 8. During a conversation with the convenience store operator, the girl recalled that a pizza was delivered to the home where she allegedly was held for two days.
Investigators used that information to track the pizza delivery to a house where 24-year-old David Montiel Cruz was arrested and booked for investigation of kidnapping, burglary, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and five sexual assault charges.
